It's a shame, but I suppose they somehow needed to save some production costs. I hope they will include a headphone jack in future headsets like quest pro 2 and quest 4, and not make this the new standard.
If it’s of any interest to you I’ve found a workaround. The Bluetooth audio latency sucks from any quest headset but if you have wireless audio and are using pcvr you can connect your audio to the vr game on the monitor display and the latency will be almost completely gone. I tested this in Vrchat and beat saber and only ever had even slightly noticeable lag in high intensity songs like crystallized on expert+
If it’s of any interest I have a workaround. It requires a wireless audio option and pcvr, but if you connect a Bluetooth audio device to the vr game display on a monitor, you’ll have the same low-latency response as any wireless headset. No noticeable delay even in fast paced experiences. The problem with connecting Bluetooth audio to the headset itself is the high latency due to the bandwidth being used up to communicate to the controllers. At least from my situation it’s more practical and effective than buying a cable splitter to use wired audio. Unless you don’t have pcvr or Bluetooth
I’m buying a 3S as a temporary headset since my quest 2 is falling apart and I plan to make vr content And ima buy the regular quest 3 later as my third vr headset
The problem with these types of reviews is your ignoring the basic understanding that a lot of people people just don't have the extra money to to afford the Quest 3. Meaning they don't buy the 3s they might not buy any VR headset, to many reviews never take those facts in to consideration. Especially if you're not in America. For instance, the Quest 3s in Australia costs $499.99 and the 3 is $799.99, that's a lot of money!
I understand what you mean, but it is tough to consider the individual differences from each country/region. I'm also not from America. I live in Europe, but I prefer to refer to the base price of the headsets when I make comparisons since it is much easier to let the price conversion to each person since they know the best the prices in their countries.
Sorry for that. I mainly learned my English from movie/anime subtitles and games, so I have some words that have been imprinted in my brain the wrong way.😅 Il work on them.
If the price is a real deal breaker for you, then they really aren't. Buying a second-hand Quest 2 will be cheaper, but the the technical specs are so much lower that I can't recommend it for a first VR experience at the end 2024. This video was mostly about deciding if you want to get a Quest 3S or save some more money for a better headset.
@@TheLifeLaVita If you can try the headset for some time to ensure that it doesn't have any dead pixels or other problems, and change the face interface, this could also be a good deal.
Will you buy a Quest 3S?
we buy you
I'm not for sale... At least not yet. Jokes aside, since I already have the Quest 3 I will save some money and wait for the Quest 4 in 2026
Yes

Already pre ordered
no headphone jack has always been a deal breaker on ANY device for me

I'm glad to hear you used your Quest 2 to the fullest, and I wish you luck in your content creation journey.

are there even alternatives on that price range or lower?

@@NokutoVR I was thinking of buying a 3 instead of the 3s because of lenses and I can get an used one for the same price
